The Weather Station: Ignorance

The Weather Station Ignorance Fat Possum You can make a serious album about serious issues that has groove, that has soul, that has not only heart but has actual art to it. It’s been done. Many times – and it always feels like a subtle magic trick. A few years ago Tracey Thorn did so […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 946

Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (1983) A year or so ago I bought a swag of Eurythmics records – most of them. I had a couple, but figured I should complete the set. Think I only have one to go now (I don’t plan on getting their “comeback” album – on any format). […]

Annie Lennox: Nostalgia

Annie Lennox Nostalgia Blue Note/Universal We tend to use the term nostalgia when describing a fondness, a sentimentality – the word comes from an ache, a pain, the loss of something – there’s a sadness that pervades, it’s a hope to return to something and it’s never going to happen, we won’t quite make it, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1172

Eurythmics, 1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother) (1984) I love the music of Eurythmics – everything! All of it! But I especially like their slightly weird stuff. Because, you know, they wrote and knocked out of the park so many great pop songs. So it’s cool to hear their strange b-sides and the instrumental […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1522

Eurythmics, Revenge (1986) What a great run on side one, first three songs: Missionary Man, Thorn In My Side, When Tomorrow Comes – this is an album I know well from my childhood. Another of the albums that the whole family loved; that mum used to play very loud (and very often), accompanying vacuuming and […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1589

The Eurythmics, Who’s That Girl [Single] (1983) Sometimes (often, actually) I buy a single for the B-side. But I don’t do this because I’m some completist/nutter – I do it because something about the B-side appeals – its title, the idea that I’m taking a punt on something that could be weird and wonderful (or […]
